C Altus Brands Helps In Cleanup n July, Altus Brands donated 1,000 of its Bughats (a $25,000 value) to Louisiana volunteers helping in the “Save Our Gulf” effort. “News about the spill caused us to think about what a small company could do. And though large corporations and government are ramping up efforts, we decided to do something quickly that might help a little,” said Gary Lemanski, Altus Brands president. Altus is challenging other companies in the industry to help in the effort. “The Louisiana coastline is a national treasure,” Lemanski said. “What happens to it affects the entire country. If a small company like ours can make even a bit of difference, then just think what can happen as the momentum grows.” Altus Group also is donating 10 percent of all future online sales of Bughats to support ongoing wildlife rescue in the Gulf Coast region.
